lution expressing: the thanks and ap
preciation of the convention to the
city of San Francisco.
Contest Long an.l Hard.
Chairman Cumniings of the demo
cratic national committee said:
"The convention reached Its result
In a truly democratic manner. The
forces, purposes and opinions repre
sented by the delegates had full play
and reached an uncontrolled result.
It was a long:, hard contest, but It
leave no scars, and the candidates
will have the united support cf the
party.
"San Francisco redeemed every
promise that was made in her behalf,
and in many respects far exceeded
our expectations. There were some
who doubted the wisdom of holding
a. convention on the Pacific coast.
Actual experience, however, has re
moved all doubt.
- The presentation of his name to the
convention came as a complete sur
prise to Mr. Roosevelt and the nomi
nation upset all his previous plans for
the summer, he said. He was busy at
his hotel room writing messages to
his family, now in summer quarters
on the Maine Coast, when a troop of
well-wishers, headed by Secretary
Daniels, arrived to congratulate him.
The vice-presidential candidate
dined with Secretary Daniels. Admiral
Rodman and officers of the Pacific
fleet aboard the flagship New Mexjco
tonight. He will leave for Dayton
- tomorrow.
Mr. Roosevelt had no formal state
ment to make regarding his nomina
tion. He Indicated, however, that he
expected a vigorous nation-wide cam
paign to be conducted and to devote
some of his own time to the western
states.
COX LIKES ROOSEVELT
DEMOCRATIC . NOMINEE, IS
PLEASED WITH RUNNING MATE
Record ol Jftan Who Has Been
Prominent at Washington
Quoted at Large.
DAYTON, O., July 6. Governor
James M. Cox, democratic presidential
nominee, tonight expressed his ap
proval of Franklin D. RoosAelt as
his running: mate in the coming elec
tion. A telegram of congratulation sent
by Governor Cox to Mr. Roosevelt late
this afternoon said:
"Please accept my earnest congrat
illations over the honor that has come
to you. I am very much delighted
that we are associated together in
the cntest."
in discussing Mr. Roosevelt, Gov
ernor Cox characterized him as a very
vigorous, upstanding, courageous and
progressive democrat
"Mr. Roosevelt's speech before the
national committee in Chicago last
winter made a very strong impres
sion. said the governor. "He spoke
In Dayton last winter on American
ization and his address at that time
: was very favorably commented upon
all over the country. His service at
ashington has given him wide expe
rience and acqaintanceship."
The governor added that Roosevelt
was a very good "stumper."
Governor Cox tonight wired Edward
H. Moore, his campaign manager at
San Francisco, saying:
"Rarely, if ever, has the magnificent
fight which you made been equaled
in a national convention. Generalship
matched support from the ranks, and
that is -saying much for both. Con
gratulatlons and thanks."
in nis lam to nis newspaper em
ployes Governor Cox said:
"The greatest gift that the Almighty
. uoa can give to any man in publi
life is to permit him to come into the
world under ciincumstances which en
able him to know the life status of
the man who works. Providence wa
good to me it was my high privilege
to come through the ranks. I know
the torment of the boy who is with

to how he will get an education tha
will help him achieve his ambition
If nomination means election. I will
take to the White House this best

CHOICE OF COX ELATES
DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPERS
Providence News "Thankful for Escape From Blight of Palmer."
"Deliverance From Equivocation of a McAdoo" Held Merciful.
FOLLOWING is the editorial com
ment of representative newspa
pers throughout the country on
the nomination of Governor Cox by
the democrats for president:
Pittsburg Sun (dem.) Among the
great constructive works of Ohio's'
governor are an efficient budget sys
tem, a model workman's compensation
act and a series, of progressive laws
that have given Ohio one of the most
complete and satisfactory labor codes
in the Union.
Hartford Times (dem.) Cox' rec
ord for progressive legislation meets
every test. He will win because the
country wants the Cox type of man
for its president and not the Hanna
type. He is the antithesis of reac
tion. Charleston Evening Post (dem.)
The democratic party has taken a
wide swing from the leadership and
inspiration of the last eight years
and has become more realistic. Cox'
nomination is due to the feeling that
he can win votes, that he will appeal
to the human element rather than the
intellectual and that he is not, the
heir to Wilson.
Worcester, Mass., Post (dem.)
Cox has done things, done them with
out fear, for the benefit of the great
est number and not of the few and
done them well. Politically he is a
two-fisted fighter and after he is
elected he fights for the right as he
sees it just as hard as he fights for
the election.
Providence News (dem.f Out of the
agony of long labor the scarred but
always unterrified democracy has
brought forth as its nominee a man
much bigger than his platform. We
lire thankful for the escape from the
blight of Palmer. It is a merciful de
liverance from the equivocation of a
McAdoo.
Omaha world - Herald (dem.)
James M. Cox is a worthy exponent
and champion of the platform. He is
democrat at heart, both progressive
ana liberal in his three terms as gov
rnor. He has proved himself a great
cniei executive in a great state.
St. Paul News (dem.) The nomina
tion of Cox will seem to most demo
crats in this section a happy way out
c a aeaaiecK. The champion of a
workmen s compensation act and of
the child-labor law bespeaks for him

a measure of constructive accomplish
ment. Nashville Tenneseean (dem.)
The naming of Cox places the demo
cratic party in the peculiar position of
being able to cater to art elements in
American life. Cox will appeal to
those men who have long been tired
of political fads. Cox is possibly the
most businesslike man ever nomi
nated by the democratic party.
New Haven Union (dem.) It must
be admitted that a democrat who can
thrice be elected Ohio's governor
against admittedly strong opponents
U a man who has a great deal to com
mend him to all voters. The nomina
tion also is a complete answer to the
republican charge that the San Fran
cisco convention was Wilson-owned
and controlled.
New Orleans Times-Picayune (dem.)
-The. democratic convention in our
judgment "has selected the strongest
candidate practically available. The
convention was unusually deliberate
in its choice. It is to be congratulated
upon the result of Its long, delibera
tions. Philadelphia Record (dem.) As a
good, deal has been said about the
governor's attitude toward prohibi
tion. It is Interesting to recall that he
was beaten by the saloon interests in
1914 because he enforced the Sunday
closing law. He procured the law
and enforced H and lost the election.
but his party nominated him again
and he was elected.
Chicago Tribune (rep.) The party
dodged the liquor issue, but the can
didate revives it. On the covenant
the party was vehement and the can
didates silent. On liquor the party is
silent and the candidate is eloquent.
It is as shrewd a manipulation as
could be made.
Worcester Gazette (rep.) Cox'
record as governor haa been that of
a reformer. The challenge of the re
publicans to make the league of na
tions the major issue is not accepted.
The beseeching of the president that
rat'fication of his covenant be made
the dominant thing In the minds of
the' voters if repudiated.
Springfield (Mass.) Union (rep.)
By a curious development not only Is
the administration defeated, but
Bryan is also.
Pittsburg Press (rep.) The party
has definitely turned Its back upon
Mr. Wilson's idealism and gone in for
DAVIS.

party of Jefferson, Jackson and Cox,
is not a partnership w'th Europe, but
a partnership with John Barleycorn.
Minneapolis Tribune (rep.) The
nomination of Mr. Cox will be regard
ed as a defeat for dry sentiment and
will afford satisfaction to the wot
clement everywhere. It is also re
garded as a defeat for the adminis
tration.
Minneapolis Journal (rep.) Ths
naming of Governor Cox forces the
liquor issue, for it completes the re
pudiation of Mr. Wilson.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
(dem.) Governor Cox has the merit
of being entirely divorced from any
connection with what have come to be
known as the Wilson policies.
Burlington (Vt.) Free Press (rep.)
For the first time in many decades,

didate for the presidency whom it

strongest candidate the democrats
could have selected.
Manchester Union Leader (rep.
it the democracy can hold the solid
south intact, which few are inclined
to doubt, annex New York end Ohio
and pick up 19 additional votes, it
will elect the next president.
Syracuse Post-Standard (rep.)
iiovernor Cox was nominated because
his home is Ohio and his principles
are moist, xnere were no other rea
sons. There was another thqught in
the mind of Tammany, which is more
concerned about re-electing Al Smith
man aoout electing a president.
Cleveland News (rep.) Governor
cox is not a conspicuous, defender of
the Wilson cult of internationalism.
in ract, although the San Francisco
platform praises the league of nations
ana glorifies Its advocate, the con
vention may be said to have repudat
ea mr. Wilson by choosing a candid
date opposed by the administration
forces.
Omaha Bee (rep.) Cox' nomination
is a distinct defeat for the administra
tion forces, who put all their great
power back of McAdoo. But it was
not a triumph for the plain people

the United States, was awarded in
Texas to a local firm, according to
word received today from Ranger,

of New Jersey, whose slogan was.
"A nation as wet as the Atlantic," 40
wet delegates controlled by Boss
Brennan, the Illinois boss, and 19 of
the 30 votes held under the iron claw
of Boss Taggart of Indiana.
The Inordinate desire to win
brought into line many respectable
delegates who felt that Cox, by reason
of his soaking wet proclivities, might
be able to carry the big wet states of
the east and add them to the prohibi
tion etates of the south which al
ways vote the democratic ticket, wet
or -dry. The fact was before these 1
delegates that Senator Warren G. !
Harding, the republican candidate.
had voted to submit the prohibition
amendment, had supported the Vol
stead act and had Voted to override
the president's veto of the Volstead
law.
Great Appeal Expected.
In view of Harding's record on these
measures it was thought tnai cox
could make such an appeal as was
in the power of no other candidate
to the big industrial centers of the
east, where the hope still springs
eternal that the barroom and the
brewery will be re-established." It is
useless to discuss the league of na
tions or any of the great economic
questions that are before the country
in this campaign with James .
the candidate of one of the parties.
Cox has simply been substituted
for the plank which the big bosses
desired most of all to get into the
platform. He is the living personi
fication of the anti-prohibition dec
laration whicL would have been
written into the platform but for the
courage and determination of William
Jennings Bryan.
To Say More la Held Uselena.
It is useless to say more. Wayne
T Wheeler, general counsel ror me
nnil-snlnnn league of America,' said
it all In a statement which he issued
a few days before the convention met.
H nairl:
The friends of law enlorcement
will present a solid rront against
Governor Cox. He is the last hope
nt tha wets in their programme for
nullification. Governor Cox' record
makes him an impossibility if national
prohibition Is to be effectively sus
tained and enforced. He has served
the wets- long and faithfully. He
championed the license law of Ohio
under which he haa tne appointing
r.nwr of license boards to build a
siTon? rjolitical wet machine. He en
couraged lawlessness in Ohio by re
fusing to aid the irienas 01 law ana
order after the state had twice adopt
ed a state constitutional provision by
referendum vote. - -
His declaration for a lignt - wine
and beer amendment, which is a nulli
fication measure, will alienate not
only the drys, but the friends of law
and order. The experience in the
states and now the supreme court dei
cision of the United States, proves
nni-iusivelv that a beer - ana wine
Amendment hamstrings law eniorce
ment and would destroy the purpose
of the 18th amendment.
Record Called Malodorous.
As Mr. Bryan well said: "Governor
Cox, record is as malodorous as gov
ernor Edwards', and extenas over n
longer period. He has never lifted
his hand or used nis voice tor me
adoption or enforcement 01 laws pro
hibiting the beverage liquor iraiiic.
When the wets neia up me law
enforcement code for Ohio by a refer
endum he gave them encouragement.
When the wets by an illegal referen
dum attempted to nullify the vote of
the legislature on ratification he was
their friend. When the wets tried to
adopt a 2.75 per cent beer amendment
to the state constitution by a state
vote and failed, he was their any. in
every contest between the forces of
prohibition, law enforcement and law
and order he has secretly aided the
enemy. He is the logical candidate
for the wets, but now that the na
tion is under constitutional prohi
bition, his candidacy is unthinkable
and a menace to law and order." ,
Dry Delegates Humiliated.
Delegates from the dry Etates of
the west felt .keenly humiliated over
the convention outcome. j.ne splen
did men and women of the Oregon
and Idaho delegations stood out to
the last ballot for McAdoo rather than
cast their votes for the wet candidate
nrl reluctantly voted at tne end to
make the Cox nomination unanimous.
Washington s delegation am not

and last ballot and then two dele
gates, Mrs. J. M. Simpson or spoxane
and N. W. Washington, declined to
support him.

Cox Haa Meager Start.
Now look for a moment at what
happened. Cox started In with a
meager 1S4 votes in a convention of
1092 delegates and with a two-thirds
majority, or 728, necessary for a.
choice. Both McAdoo and Palmer had
votes at the outset and a far
more promising outlook.
Cox was wet; the convention was
dry made dry either by itB convic
tions or its fears. The high water
mark of the wet or moist strength ;
was shown when the half-hearted
Cockran proposal for light wine and
beer in the homes got something more
than 400 votes. Any outright proposal
. rr aorlous modification of
the prohibition amendment or the Vol

vention in a panic.

forces were recruited from under the
same elements. Then there was a
group of favorite sons who were thor
oughly imbued with the notion that
their policy was to stick through thick
and thin in the hope of final success
from failure or inability of the con
vention to do anything else. These
favorite son delegates stood out like
sore thumbs and were about aB popu
lar They stood by their guns to the
last. They had to be reckoned with
by Cox as well as by Palmer and
McAdoo.
Uak Dropped br Murpby.
There were other favorite sons who
were put up as a masquerade iur m
real designs of the politicians. They
were Smith. of New x otk ana uwa.uo
of New Jersey. On the seventh ballot
his mask and New
Jersey and New York got behind Cox.
Taggart was more shy, but ha too
landed finally where he belonged.
The real fight for Cox began on the
seventh ballot and they pushed him
forward until the 12th ballot, when
he passed McAdoo, on the 19th, when
he reached his apparent maximum of
46S, while McAdoo had dropped from
384 to 327. It was.a long see-saw bat
tle between . thoroughly disciplined
delegations, controlled by master
hands, and undisciplined delegations
bossed by too .many amateurs. But
they contrived to shove McAdoo ahead
of Cox again on the 30th ballot.
On the 38th Palmer withdrew and
his following went mostly to Cox.
partly for the reason of the irritations
that had been steadily growing be
tween Palmer and McAdoo. partly
through the superior attractiveness
of the cohesive Cox organixation and
partly, no doubt, through personal
negotiation with delegates who are
politically negotiable by politicians
who know how to negotiate.
Prohibition, Bryan, Wilson were
forgotten or ignored on the strain
of those last agonising hours. Cox
had with him men with the will and
power to do things. McAdoo did not.
It was enough.

SAYS COMMITTEE
Nt:ElEI,
OF 4 8.
Action of Both Republicans and
Democrats Held Disappoint
ment to U. S. Voters.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 6. Third
party proponents see in the results
of the democratic national convention
the certainty of a new political party,
according to a statement Issued here
tonight by Howard Williams, national
vice-chairman of the committee of 4S,
which has called a convention in Chi
j cago July 10 to 14 for organization of
a new party and selection or canal
dates for president and vice-presi
dent of the United States.
The statement tonight said:
"The republican convention adopted
a reactionary platform and selected
typical old-guard candidate. The peo
ple expected relief from the demo
Voluntary Taxation
Right now in this country a work is progress
ing that is so far reaching, so important and so
large in public interest that it may be properly re
garded as remarkable.
Our canned meat products are protected in the
packing by Government Inspectors and the ap
proved result bears the Government mark of
standard.
But our vegetable food products are not under
Governmental scrutiny and care.
Of the thousands of canners, there are some
whose output is not always fit to eat.
" And so, voluntarily, a great association of can
ners have formed a National organization to pro
tect the public and themselves against impure
canned goods.
Have agreed to a tax per case for the main
tenance of a daily inspeotion in the canneries of
the association's members, and have agreed to
permit, only on those products whose manufac
ture comes up to rigid sanitary requirements, the
imposition on the package of a seal or certificate
of safety.
When you see this seal next year, it will iden
tify for you canned goods which you may eat with
the knowledge that it has behind it the pledge of
a great industry as to sanitation and wholesome
ness. The National Canners' Association has dis
played a breadth of visfon and an intelligence in
self-interest that must react favorably on the work
of other associations. It will merit the commen
dation of the public it serves.
So far-sighted and powerful a movement will
be advertised nationally to hasten the success that
seems inevitable.

hopes are shattered.
"False issues were created. Real

"A colorless candidate of the con
ventional type was selected finally
by worn-out delegates in the small
hours of Tuesday morning.
"In the democratic convention, as in
the republican, everything that sa.
vored of liberalism was stifled. There
is nothing to choose between either
party. Both are bankrupt of demo
cratic purpose.
"The people of the United States
now demand a genuine opposition
party. They demand a new party
which will regard sincerely the inter
ests of the voters, a party which of
fers a constructive programme and
which assures relief from the tyranny
of the "two party systems." Such a
party will be organized. Now is tha
time."
